An old saying.

They can't stand them either. I saw through the Clintons when they came to the White House 16 years ago with their 2 for 1 show. Phonies. Crooks. With all the info on their scandals and backdoor dealings and laughing at the American people who still support them, why can't all people see through them. Many have recently and I pray that others will wake up before it is too late. Anyone but a Clinton in the highest office of the land. She has calculated this election for years. This is what she has lived for for years. Don't be fooled. Wake up people. This is our country we are talking about. Just maybe the news people know what phonies the Clintons are.

My comment was harsh and regret posting it. However, this is precisely why I believe the Clintons are dividers, and we need a real change. They're like poison, and they bring out the worst in people. Every step of their campaign has made me angry. I don't want to see them anymore. I had been open-minded, but their campaign tactics have stirred up all kinds of negative feelings I've forgotten about. In many ways, I'm glad that they ran a negative campaign. It served as a good reminder why they should not be elected. I also don't believe that CNN made this into news. It was Hillary that tried to make it into news by saying "I said I would not tear up. Already we're not on that path." She wasn't even crying. When she teared up in New Hampshire, I bought it even though I'm not a Hillary supporter. This time, it just seems too calculated to be something spontaneous. In response to Marcelo: "As an very strong Obama supporter, I'm ashamed of the negative comments against Hillary.

There were millions of Americans too stupid to know who they wanted to vote for for president. Now somebody rich and famous and important has told them who to vote for. Those same folks apparently don't know how to click on a button to actually VIEW the video that they comment on. Please people get informed and know the facts before spilling your ignorant opinion all over the internet. I don't care who you vote for- but please know WHY you are voting for that person. Media fueled hatred of a fine public servant should NOT be the reason. I am tickled pink that Oprah and Ted and Caroline and Maria have jumped on the bandwagon.

As a productive and happy person who survived very challenging times in childhood, in the care of the "system" I'm grateful for people like Hillary. She took a stand for children, long before anyone wanted to address the impact on society of a poor start in life. Through nature AND nurture, children grow up to be adults who have a propensity for either neediness or strength. The long term effects of Hillary's advocacy results in stronger more stable, responsible, and self reliant adults who are able to more often contribute than take. It's really about the issues.
